Xue Tianxing took out a magical herb with a faint fragrance from the storage ring. This was a herb Xue Tianxing had selected called Xuanwu Tongtian Grass, which had the effect of quickly improving soul power and stabilizing the foundation. Xue Tianxing felt that this was the most suitable magical herb for Cao Qing.
He handed the magical herb to Cao Qing and said:
"Your soul power has been stuck at level 39 for a while. Absorbing this immortal herb will help you break through to the Soul Sect level.
In addition, the soul bone that your parents protected with their lives can also be absorbed when you break through, which will allow your Soul Sect strength to reach a higher level.
As for this ten thousand year old soul bone, I will fulfill my promise after you perform well in the All-Continental Soul Master Competition."
Cao Qing looked at the magic grass in his hand, then looked at Xue Tianxing, his eyes full of gratitude.
He bowed deeply and said in a firm voice:
"Thank you, Your Highness! I will definitely live up to your expectations and break through to the Soul Sect as soon as possible to serve you!"
The next day, Barak's palace was unusually quiet.
Shui Bing'er, Shui Yue'er, Dugu Yan, Ning Rongrong, and Oscar all found a quiet room to meditate and absorb the ten thousand year soul bones; Cao Qing also took the magic grass and the soul bones left by his parents and began to strive for the Soul Sect realm.
Xue Tianxing did not go into seclusion, but practiced in the palace's martial arts field.
While circulating his soul power and consolidating his own strength, he was thinking about future plans - the Continental Soul Master Competition was getting closer and closer.
Thinking of the Spirit Hall, Xue Tianxing was still a little worried, because even in the Spirit Hall, although Qian Renxue told him that Qian Daoliu had no aversion to him, and was even a little happy about him being the inheritor of the six-winged angel spirit.
But Xue Tianxing knew that the biggest threat in the Spirit Hall was the crazy woman Bibi Dong. Not only did he turn Yu Xiaogang, the white moonlight in Bibi Dong's heart, into a eunuch, he also possessed the six-winged angel spirit, and the buffs were stacked up directly.
Xue Tianxing knew that if he exposed these things, Bibi Dong would definitely want to kill him, so for Xue Tianxing, the only way to take the initiative in future turmoil was to improve his own and his team's strength as quickly as possible.
The next morning, Xuezhe sent someone to summon Wang Kun to the palace hall.
Unlike the bustling yesterday, the hall was exceptionally quiet today. Only Xuezhe was sitting on the throne, Xue Tianxing was standing on one side of the throne, and Wang Kun was standing alone below.
Xue Tianxing stayed in the dark yesterday and Wang Kun did not see him.
Seeing Xue Tianxing at this moment, Wang Kun guessed his identity at a glance - there was no one else except the gifted prince Xue Tianxing who could stand beside King Barak, had an extraordinary temperament and was so young.
Wang Kun immediately put on a flattering smile, stepped forward quickly, and bowed repeatedly to Xue Tianxing, his praise pouring out like a spring:
"This must be His Highness Xue Tianxing! He truly is a man of unparalleled talent, a figure of the sun and the moon. One glance reveals his extraordinary bearing!"
His Highness broke through to Soul King at the age of twelve and possessed a top-level martial soul. Such talent is rare in the entire Douluo Continent, even in a century!
Furthermore, His Highness is not only exceptionally talented, but has also inherited His Majesty's dominance and majesty. He will surely lead the Barak Kingdom to the pinnacle in the future!"
Wang Kun spoke quickly and smoothly, and every sentence flattered Xue Tianxing just right. He was full of emotion and his eyes were sincere, which made people feel particularly comfortable when listening to him.
Xue Tianxing sighed inwardly: No wonder many dynasties had obvious treacherous ministers, but the emperors found it difficult to identify them.
Wang Kun's "emotional value" is too high, and his words are so pleasant that even if you know he is trying to please you, it is hard to feel disgusted.
Xuezhe and Xue Tianxing sat at the top, listening to Wang Kun's endless praise for half an hour, from Xue Tianxing's talent to Xuezhe's governance, and from the current situation of the Barak Kingdom to its future prospects, almost praising everything that could be praised.
Finally, Xuezhe couldn't bear to listen any longer and interrupted him:
"Alright, Wang Kun, I understand your feelings."
Wang Kun stopped immediately, bowed and stood where he was, looking as if he was listening attentively.
Xuezhe looked at him and spoke slowly:
"I know you want to join our Barak Kingdom and work with us from within to take down the Tiandou Empire.
I am very pleased that you have such vision and I agree that you will join us. From today on, you are a member of our Barak Kingdom."
He paused, his tone hinting at temptation:
"However, you still need to return to the Tiandou Empire and continue to lie low. When the time is right and we join forces to take down the Tiandou Empire, you will be the first hero.
When the time comes, I will give you even greater power and status than you currently have in the Tiandou Empire, ensuring you enjoy endless wealth and glory."
When Wang Kun heard this, he was overjoyed.
What he was most worried about was that Xuezhe did not trust him. Now, not only was he recognized, but he was also promised higher power, which meant that his retreat was completely secure!
Wang Kun could no longer suppress his excitement. He fell to his knees with a plop and kowtowed three times respectfully to Xuezhe and Xue Tianxing, saying loudly:
"Wang Kun, a subject of the Barak Kingdom, greets His Majesty! His Highness! I will live up to your Majesty's and Your Highness's trust. I will lie low in the Tiandou Empire, bide my time, and serve you faithfully in your conquest!"
Xuezhe looked at Wang Kun's eager expression of loyalty, feeling speechless, but still waved his hand:
"Get up, my dear."
Wang Kun quickly stood up, still with an excited smile on his face.
"You must return to the Tiandou Empire immediately. Do not stay in the Barak Kingdom for too long, or you may arouse Xue Ye's suspicion."
Xuezhe instructed, "After you return, regularly report news about the Tiandou Empire to us, especially regarding Xue Ye and the Spirit Hall's movements."
"I understand!"
Wang Kun bowed in response, then straightened his chest, deliberately slowed down his pace, and put on a tragic and heroic posture of "a warrior going to war", and walked out of the hall step by step.
It looked as if he was not going to hide, but to die. Xue Tianxing couldn't help but shake his head secretly.
After Wang Kun left, Xuezhe smiled helplessly at Xue Tianxing:
"This Wang Kun is a good pretender. But that's fine. The more such a person is, the easier it is for us to control him."
Xue Tianxing nodded, a cold look flashing in his eyes:
"Let him toss around in the Tiandou Empire first. We'll let him be useful when we need him. For now, we should wait for Bing'er and the others to absorb their soul bones. Improving their strength is the most important thing."
Xuezhe said in agreement:
"That's right. Once they break through, our Barak Kingdom's strength will be able to reach a new level. By then, when the Continental Spirit Master Competition comes, even if we face the Spirit Hall and the Xingluo Empire, we will have more confidence."
Silence returned to the hall, and both father and son were planning for the future of the Barak Kingdom.
Wang Kun, who had left the palace, was rushing back to the Tiandou Empire, still fantasizing about his glorious future.
